Abstract

Graphical abstract: Main aquatic species containing endogenous protease (A), application (B), influencing factors (C), and site (D) of autolysis. Highlights: Reviewed the mechanism (Types and sites of endogenous enzymes) that cause autolysis of animal aquatic products based on the phenomenon of autolysis. Reviewed the biochemical changes and influencing factors during autolysis. The potential application and future development trends of autolysis of aquatic products are reviewed. Abstract: Animal aquatic products have high water content, abundant enzyme system and their own diverse microbial flora. These products are severely susceptible to autolysis and degradation after death, resulting in many adverse effects on storage, processing, and transportation. Among them, the endogenous enzyme are the key factor that caused the autolysis and degradation. Autolytic hydrolysis provides an effective way to maximize the use of aquatic by-products and achieve increased protein resources and reduce environmental pollution from by-products. To better acquaintance the autolysis phenomenon and regulation of the autolysis phenomenon. This paper reviews the autolytic mechanism, biochemical changes, influencing factors, and potential applications of animal aquatic products and their by-products to explore autolysis and its effective utilization and regulation. In addition, this study also emphasizes the importance of making full use of aquatic by-products. Furthermore, the research trends and future challenges of autolysis are also discussed. Autolysis can effectively transform aquatic products and by-products into bioactive hydrolysates. The hydrolysates produced by the autolysis of aquatic products and their by-products have attracted attention because of their wide applications in food, healthcare, and animal feed industries. However, the mechanism and regulation (promotion or inhibition) of autolysis should be further studied, and autolysate at the industrial level should be produced to provide high-value-added products for by-product processing and realize the sustainable utilization of resources.
